Guerin, Sophie

As a part of her work for her Masters Degree in Media Studies, Sophie completed a documentary research-creation project called Un jour ou l’autre that speaks about the migration of elderly people into residential homes. Sophie is working on PAR, a series of collaborative digital media projects exploring the potential of new media tools for use by community-based groups that are headed by elders. She has been involved with RECAA: New Media Methods and Ethnocultural Resources Against Elder Abuse, a Participatory action research initiative that demonstrates the social, political and community-based potential of new media and design. She has also worked on the AddressKnown project. Apart these projects, she loves to meet great people and work within community-settings.
